The Fox and the Hound 2

Split (2017 Psychological Thriller Film)
The idea of watching a psychological film circling around different personalities inside a single person is potentially invigorating. After all the idea has never been done to death. That’s why I am earnestly hopeful that my first M. Night Shyamalan feature could fulfill the gap of films I missed in …
Live Flesh movie
Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …

Veggietales: Silly Thing Called Love
I picked up a Veggietales DVD for my daughter that I thought would keep her occupied for about 45 minutes. It turns out it was a pretty decent, full-length disk that kept her occupied for more than an hour.
Silly Thing Called Love is a great Veggietales disk that uses …
Daddy’s Little Girls
OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.

Dance with the Devil (UR, 1997)
I wasn’t going to rent this movie at first since it was a little old. But since I really like both Javier Bardem and Rosie Perez, I thought the film was worth a try. Boy was I wrong. It’s supposed to be a dark comedy. …

Dracula: Dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielson, Mel Brooks, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, and Amy Yasbeck.

Movie Roxanne
I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”
You know what, it really wasn’t as good as I remember it being.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Out of curiosity in college, I watched this movie. That was because of my professor in Graphics and Special Effects who recommended this to the class saying this has a good special effects sample. Well, it did not fail me. The transformation of humans into grotesque …
Dead Like Me: Nighthawks
Dead Like Me: Nighthawks is a flashback show, and that confuses me. It’s really too early for a flashback show, but maybe Showtime was trying to get people up to speed on what was happening in the story. Usually, a clip show like this one is an …

In 1940 Loew’s, a production company that ceased operation in the mid 1950s released the black and white feature “Shop Around the Corner” in English lasting 99 minutes.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Over the Hedge
I spent some time thinking about how to describe how good the movie Over the Hedge was. The best way I can think of is, it was so good, my 2-year-old actually sat quietly throughout the whole movie.

This film is highly enjoyable and looks beautiful its helped by being set in …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
Movie: iMurders

Gravity (2013 Space Thriller Film)

The movie Why Did I Get Married
I like Tyler Perry’s plays and his movies. This one was no different. THis movie is about what can happen to a relationship when it is not built on the right things. IT shows what can happen when couples start to take each other for granite and start to …
Dude, Where’s My Car?
Remember when Dude, Where’s My Car? was first shown on the cinemas? I think there are just movies that truly “work” and some just don’t. And the actors play an active role as well. If you put non-funny actors in a funny comedy movie, it won’t work …
Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)
